"Just wait a bit longer. When your mommy is feeling better, Aunt Xixi will take you to see her, okay?" Meng Xi'er held Liu Yi's tear-streaked little face, saying with heartache, "Tomorrow, Aunt Xixi will take Xiaoyi to see your mommy, okay?"
Liu Yi's eyes, large and dark, looked up at Meng Xi'er, and he whispered, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
"When has Aunt Xixi ever lied to you?" Meng Xi'er spoke softly, "First thing in the morning tomorrow, Aunt Xixi will take you to see her. For now, Xiaoyi, don't be anxious. Rest here for a bit, okay?"
Liu Yi's struggling quieted down as he bit his lip and mumbled softly, "Is mommy… is she very ugly now…"
He was reminded of those disfigured by car accidents he'd seen on TV.
"No." Meng Xi'er shook her head, "Your mommy is still as beautiful as always."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Yeah, mommy is the most beautiful woman in the world."
His tone was filled with love and fondness for Liu Mingxing.
